Entertainment Tech Tinder While this all sounds like a particularly odd move from Tinder, there’s apparently a matchmaking motivation behind it. Variety reports that viewers who make the same choices may then be matched up with one another, giving them something to chat about and suggesting they have something in common. Tinder declined to comment. From the director of Drake’s “God’s Plan” video Dating apps have increasingly looked for different ways to bring people together. Tinder has tried to pair people at musical festivals and spring break hot spots this past year, and the dating app Scruff even tried an in-app quiz show, like HQ, to bring people together. As games and streaming TV take up more and more of people’s time, mixing the two may make sense as a way to draw people to Tinder. And while choosing your own adventure is certainly a novel approach, this actually isn’t Tinder’s first crack at original content: the company also has a podcast all about the quirks of dating.
